He said "where did you get that, CNN?"

4. They have been conditioned to reject any information not specifically from right wing sources.

That much is obvious from the knee jerk response. They see every outlet except for Fox News and right wing outlets as "liberal media" and therefore to be disregarded.

They reject any information that does not fit into their held beliefs.

I did this to him over and over again.

Eventually he pulled a Judas "how do you know I'm a Rump supporter?"

1. Fake News
2. Change the subject ... "but what about?"
3. Call names
4. Deny that they support Trump. "I don't like Trump, I just think liberals...."
5. Pout and go away.

And when others who couldn't resist name-calling chimed in, I simply blocked them.

I had this one isolated and it was more fun than I've had in a while.

She will go after some Trumper on Facebook. Humiliate them, go back and forth for a bit, then just laugh at them.

We all need our little joys in life

9. They set themselves up due to caveman argument techniques

The right was never this dumb when I grew up.

Now that the intellectuals have deserted the Republican party, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

The funniest part is how they never admit defeat, no matter how badly they get embarrassed. This is the scary nature of this new crew. They're a fascist's wet dream.
